Card Players enjoy Drumderrig House

Every week a group of keen card players gather at Drumderrig House, Boyle's Private Nursing Home, for a few hands. Residents and non residents participate. Recently Ita Roche, the only lady present, skillfully relieved the men of their few bob!

• Paula Cull, owner of Drumderrig House, says "The fact that non residents join in is important. We want our residents to feel that they're part of the community. Just because people are elderly, it doesn't mean they've stopped living or enjoying their favourite pastimes." Playing cards, boules, bingo, keep fit and dancing and music nights are just a few of the many activities Drumderrig's residents have to hand.
